Recent advancements in 2D magnetic materials have attracted a growing interest driven by their unique properties and potential applications in spintronic devices. However, the scarcity of systems that exhibit magnetism at room-temperature…
Magnetic proximity interactions (MPIs) between atomically-thin semiconductors and two-dimensional magnets provide a means to manipulate spin and valley degrees of freedom in nonmagnetic monolayers, without the use of applied magnetic…
Magnetism in recently discovered van der Waals materials has opened new avenues in the study of fundamental spin interactions in truly two-dimensions. A paramount question is what effect higher-order interactions beyond bilinear Heisenberg…
The nature of the gap observed at the zone border in the spin-excitation spectrum of CrI$_3$ quasi-2D single crystals is still controversial. We perform first-principles calculations based on time-dependent density-functional perturbation…
The discovery of ferromagnetic order in monolayer 2D crystals has opened a new venue in the field of two dimensional (2D) materials. 2D magnets are not only interesting on their own, but their integration in van der Waals heterostructures…
We studied a two-band magnon insulating model whose geometry is that of a modified Lieb lattice in which one of the sites was removed. Anisotropic ferromagnetic exchange interactions exist between the three nearest neighbors, and the…
Magnetic anisotropies often originate from the spin-orbit coupling and determine magnetic ordering patterns. We develop a microscopic theory for DC electric-field controls of magnetic anisotropies in magnetic Mott insulators and discuss its…
We demonstrate here that ultrathin ferromagnetic Pt/Co/Pt films with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy exhibit a sizeable Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) effect. Such a DMI effect modifies the domain-wall (DW) energy density and…
The Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) has drawn great attention as it stabilizes magnetic chirality, with important implications in fundamental and applied research. This antisymmetric exchange interaction is induced by the broken…
The recent discovery of magnetism in atomically thin layers of van der Waals crystals has created great opportunities for exploring light-matter interactions and magneto-optical phenomena in the two-dimensional limit. Optical and…
We perform a symmetry analysis of the ABC-stacked kagome planes of Mn atoms common to the $L1_2$ Mn$_3$X and antiperovskite Mn$_3$AB alloys. In addition to the single-ion-anisotropy and Kitaev-type anisotropic exchange known to stabilize…
In two-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) magnets, the presence of magnetic orders, strong spin-orbit coupling and asymmetry at interfaces is the key ingredient for hosting chiral spin textures. However, experimental evidences for chiral…
We demonstrate the emergence of anti-chiral edge states in a Heisenberg ferromagnet with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction(DMI) on a honeycomb lattice with in-equivalent sub-lattices. The DMI, which acts between atoms of the same species,…
A family of insulating iridates with chemical formula Li$_2$IrO$_3$ has recently been discovered, featuring three distinct crystal structures $\alpha,\beta,\gamma$ (honeycomb, hyperhoneycomb, stripyhoneycomb). Measurements on the…
Despite serious effort, the nature of the magnetic interactions and the role of electron-correlation effects in magnetic two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals materials remain elusive. Using CrI$_3$ as a model system, we show that the…
We suggest a possible origin of noncollinear magnetic textures in ferromagnets (FMs) with the $D_{3h}$ point group symmetry. The suggested mechanism is different from the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) and its straightforward…
Recent years have seen a tremendous rise of two-dimensional (2D) magnetic materials, several of which verified experimentally. However, most of the theoretical predictions to date rely on ab-initio methods, at zero temperature and…
The layered honeycomb magnet $\alpha$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$ has been theoretically proposed as a candidate to display novel magnetic behaviour associated with Kitaev interactions between spin-orbit entangled $j_{\rm eff}=1/2$ magnetic moments on a…
Magnetic skyrmions are chiral nanoscale spin textures which are usually induced by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Recently, magnetic skyrmions have been observed in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) ferromagnetic materials,…
Antiferromagnets are normally thought of as materials with compensated magnetic sublattices. This adds to their technological advantages but complicates readout of the antiferromagnetic state. We demonstrate theoretically the existence of a…
